Post Alert Data Settings option

[EcoStruxureIT]

Use this option's configuration display to identify the IP or address you want the NetBotz Appliances monitored by your server to send their alert data.

When a NetBotz Appliance is discovered by Data Center Expert, the hostname of the Data Center Expert is added to the NetBotz Appliance. This enabled the Data Center Expert to receive alert postings from the NetBotz Appliance. If your server does not use DNS, you will need to change the alert post entry on the NetBotz Appliance to the IP Address of the Data Center Expert server.

Note

This display also can be accessed when using Network Settings, a Server Administration Settings option in the System menu, to change the Public (LAN1) tab's Hostname or IP Address settings: when asked if you want to update the NetBotz Appliance post settings, click Yes.

Select the Address to Use for Sending Alert Data	Select an IP address or hostname from the drop-down list, or type in the hostname or IP address you want the monitored NetBotz Appliances to use to post alert data.

Otherwise, those appliances will be unable to post data to the server, and status will only be available in response to polling.
